I just got mine clocked up to 3.4GHz, and am now running F@H. Temps max out at 60 on core 1 and 58c on core 0. Core voltage according to CPU-Z is 1.296, but is set at 1.4 in the bios.

Can you lower your timings on that memory, they seem a bit high for that memory and it being underclocked.?

Nice overclocking! ;-)

I could get mine maxed only up to 3.26GHz :frown:, but I'm currently running it 24/7 @3.2GHz Only, at I don't want to play too "risky". ;-)

I guess it depends on the stepping and the fact that I'm overclocking it on my Asus P5N-E 650i, which isn't a bad overclocker, but also not 'that' great...

Cool! Do you have your CPU overclocked? The memory doesn't like much better timings than that. I was running it at that to get it stable. It's running now at 5-5-5-15 and 3.2GHz on the CPU.

I'm sitting at a cool 3.0ghx understock voltage right now, I planned on OCing the crap outta this thing this weekend but ended up having a wedding to attend. lil groggy this morning but I will still make an attempt at 3.2ghz. want that 1600fsb.

I got mine stable at 58c 3.4GHz full load! That is of course with my new Antec 900 case that I bought yesterday!

Great overclock but those temps scare me :ahhhhh:
Really? I don't think that 58c is that bad on air, although I have mine @43c @maximum load, but I have mine "only" @3.2GHz...;-)

It never touches 60C which is what I was hoping to get from the case! I'm happy with this overclock, but I need better cooling on the CPU to go any higher safely.

mine hits 63-65 on top load @ 3.6, in the summer of course. Has been going strong for a while, I'd worry @ over 65.

Those temps aren't bad. 3.4 is the highest I can get with these volts going into it. For 3.5GHz I have to up my volts considerably.
